Hi everyone,

is it possible to right align the text in an Indesign interactive form? I only see options for the font size, not even font family, are there more settings to it, most importantly alignment?

Thank you!Screen Shot 2018-07-24 at 11.47.47.png

Thanks Bob for the mention.

Yes, FormMagic gives you all the missing controls for interactive PDFs right inside InDesign: Alignment, font, color, rich text (italics, bold, etc.), even c|o|m|b| |f|i|e|l|d|s. (And FormMaker, its big brother, adds the form validation/calculation/javscript formatting options as well.)

The free edition gives you a 1-page, 10-field form with all the options, for free...

It is not a usual text field, but an interactive form which is supposed to be filled in the exported pdf.

When I click on the form field the paragraph setting seems to be disabled and in the form properties it only has font size:

We need a way to create forms that have the numbers aligned to the right, just like any normal text would be.

Hi, Thank you for contacting us. To align text in the interactive field, you may try right-aligning the text frame in InDesign.
